JV REPORT

Maury vs. Lake Taylor -- 5/01/08

This 8th Grader's future is indeed bright. Commodore Pitcher Cameron Parker hurled 4 hitless shutout innings, recording 8 strikeouts along the way against only 2 walks and a handful of hits, in leading Maury to an 8-5 victory against the Lake Taylor Titans Thursday afternoon 5/02 at Maury Field. He also had 2 hits, one of which was an RBI single in the 1st inning. Once again, the Commodores led a very balanced offense. Connor O'Donnell started the scoring with an RBI single in the 1st and Shortstop Justin Davis hit an RBI triple in the 2nd that landed at the bottom of the left-field fence. Sam Triplett doubled in the 3rd and easily scored on an RBI double to left-centerfield by Leftfielder Trent Litsch. Maury added on in the 4th when Triplett drove in 2 more runs with a single and he scored on an RBI single by 3rd baseman Stratton Georges. Christopher O'Donnell relieved Parker after 5-1/3 Innings and combined with Kevin Radford to shut the door on the Titan offense. Georges caught a shoestring low liner in the top of the 7th, doubled-up the Lake Taylor runner on 1st and their last batter popped up to 2nd base to end the game.

Churchland will roll-in to Maury Field at 4 p.m. on Friday 5/02 looking to earn a season series-split with a victory.

The future's so bright they gotta wear shades. The Maury JV continues to rack up impressive wins on its way to a 7-0 record this season. Rain-outs have limited the number of games played but the Maury bats have been making solid contact and the team has been posting big run totals.
